About Kim Merryman

(Show Details...)

Hi! My name is Kim Merryman. I was born April 27, 1959 in Louisville, KY but grew up in Rancho Cordova, CA. My husband's name is Rob. We were married on May 30, 1981 and we have two grown sons named Daniel and Matthew, and a black cat named Max.

I currently live in Niceville, FL located in the Florida Panhandle, near Eglin AFB. With my husband being in the Air Force we have moved around a little. We have lived in California, Florida, Texas, Okinawa and North Carolina.

I am a Christian and many of my poems reflect that. I've only been writing poetry for 7 years. Most of my inspiration comes while I'm reading my Bible.

My other interests include reading, crocheting, counted-cross stitch, and playing Scrabble.

I'm so glad I found Poetry Soup. Since becoming a member I have learned so many new forms. The contests have stretched my creativity and the positive comments are so encouraging. Even though I've never met you, I feel like I know you. Looking forward to a long, happy relationship with all of you.

I see there is still a problem with the contest page, which must be so frustrating to all of you wonderful sponsors. However, I did see that I placed in your contest Kim, and I am most grateful ! Thank you !

I found the problem and have notified Soup Admin. Take a gander at the top of the contest winners page.... it does not allow us to see the winners for 2013! To post my winners I had to close it for Dec 31 2012!!! Hon, just change your closing date, if it will let you! Then the winners will show up, at least on the first page. Hopefully, Soup can resolve this soon... Hugs Cyndi

Kim, whatever the results of your last contest I wanted to say thanks for spurring so much creativity with that contest idea...I enjoyed writing for it and hope that others enjoyed my entry as well. Let's have the best new yr ever! Your friend, gwendolen
